Summary/Abstract: The primary focus of this essay is set on understanding the construc- tion of time and space in three songs from Dylan’s album Blonde on Blonde. In the first steps of the analysis, attention is paid to the syntactic relations found between the words of the songs so they could be better understood. Syntactic relations affect semantic fields of words, and by adhering closely to syntax, semantic fields of words can be widened or narrowed, which in turn can make analysis and interpretation less pretentious and more up to the point. Equally important is the fact that grammar largely determines time perspectives. The link between dramatic monologue and the formation of time is analyzed. Special attention is devoted to the details that have an important role in the formation of space. Using these analytic procedures to gain deeper understanding, the attempt was made to interpret these three poems.
